The names associated with this project are true legends on the hard rock scene: on the vocals - Doogie White (Rainbow, Michael Schenker, Yngwie Malmsteen), on the drums - Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell, DIO), on the bass - Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake), who join forces with the 16-year-old Polish guitarist phenomenon Iggy Gwadera. Iggy's influences are Dimebag Darrell, Randy Rhoads, Glenn Tipton, Dave Murray, Zakk Wylde. Japanese pressing includes a three bonus tracks.

Dark Ages were founded in 1982 by Simone Calciolari which is the only remaining member from the original line-up. The album was recorded between July 2016 and January 2017 at the Mago Studio in Avio (Trento – Italy) and mixed by Maurizio “Tachy” Fracchetti, always identified as the 6th member of the band, thanks to the fruitful partnership and friendly relationship formed during the years of activity of the band.

With new guitarist Brian McPhee making his recording debut with the band, it was only natural that Unveiling the Wicked (featuring one of the worst record sleeves ever) would see Exciter tweaking their sound somewhat.

Classical / Solo Piano

After important contributions to Heinz Holliger’s “Romancendres” and acclaimed performance, with Carolin Widmann, of Schumann’s Violin Sonatas, here is the first New Series solo recording from Hungarian pianist Dénes Várjon. It is a recital that draws the listener in from the first moments – beginning with the dark, brooding language of Alban’s Berg’s Piano Sonata Op. 1, shaped in the shadow of Schoenberg, and continuing into the nebulous regions of Janáček’s impressionistic and near-contemporaneous “In the mists”, finally emerging into the clear light of Liszt’s immense - and immensely-influential - B-minor Sonata.
